CA Technologies Simplifies Data Protection for Linux

MUMBAI, July 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    CA ARCserve D2D for Linux Delivers Fast, Efficient Data Protection and Recovery for
Virtual and Physical Linux Server Environments

    CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced CA ARCserve(R) D2D for Linux
[http://www.arcserve.com/us/d2d.aspx ], providing fast, simple data protection and
disaster recovery for businesses running virtual and physical servers on the popular open
source platform.

    An image-based solution, CA ARCserve D2D for Linux, helps organizations protect the
integrity and availability of critical systems, applications and data within their
shrinking backup windows. It complements CA ARCserve(R) D2D for Microsoft Windows,
providing a complete solution for today's heterogeneous environments.

    "Long periods of downtime or data loss can have a devastating impact on businesses who
are already struggling to keep up with their ever-changing IT environment," said Jindrich
Rosicka, technical director at IS4 Technologies, an IT solutions and services provider
based in the Czech Republic. "CA ARCserve D2D for Linux has the speed and reliability that
our customers need to meet their demanding business requirements. We also plan to use the
solution to protect our own Linux servers."

    CA ARCserve D2D for Linux provides fast and frequent backups to meet today's demanding
recovery point objectives. The solution's flexible recovery options reduce business
downtime and support fast recovery time objectives. In addition, built-in data security
supports diverse compliance requirements.

    CA ARCserve data compression reduces backup-related storage requirements and costs.
Unattended bare-metal recovery enables systems to quickly and easily be restored to
similar or dissimilar physical or virtual servers-giving customers much greater
flexibility when it comes to recovery infrastructure. Granular recovery allows individual
file restoration from any recovery point image.

    "Our customers need fast, cost-effective backup software that is easy-to-use and
delivers true business value," said Stephen Lawlor, senior storage and virtualization
consultant at Cristie Data Ltd, a leading UK-based provider of data storage and management
solutions. "We were extremely pleased with how CA ARCserve D2D for Linux performed during
rigorous testing in a Centos environment. It worked flawlessly and intuitively with each
and every restoration scenario we threw at it-while also offering superior value."

    Users access CA ARCserve D2D for Linux through an easy-to-use Web 2.0 console that
enables hassle-free, automated agent installation, as well as centralized management,
configuration and reporting of all protected Linux servers.

    CA ARCserve D2D for Linux can be licensed individually on a per-server (or virtual
machine) basis. It also is included in CA ARCserve managed capacity (per-Terabyte) and
virtual server per-socket offerings. In addition to IT organizations, it is ideal for
resellers and service providers seeking to add cost-effective Linux data protection to
their service offerings.

    "IT has to aggressively reduce the amount of time and effort they spend protecting
mission-critical systems, including those powered by Linux," said Steve Fairbanks, vice
president, Product Delivery, Data Management, CA Technologies. "CA ARCserve empowers our
customers to fulfill their most pressing recovery objectives with a single, cross-platform
solution and licensing options tailored to achieve maximum return on investment."

    CA ARCserve D2D for Linux supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x and 6.x, as well as
CentOS 5.x and 6.x. CA ARCserve backup, replication and high availability solutions also
support Linux.
